Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2173 KP) rated The California Roll in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Radar Hoverlander makes his living as a con man. But when he meets a beautiful woman who wants him to help her grandfather run a scam, he may be in well over his head. This was a fun caper out of my normal cozy realm. Plenty of twists and some characters I could like even if they weren't normally the bad guys.

We Worship God by Nancy Streza is a beautiful book for preschool and elementary school aged children. The illustrations are wonderful and really add to the message. This is a very nice approach to the ABC's. It is rooted in the Bible and in the qualities that Jesus portrays. Each page covers a letter to the alphabet. This story not only teaches the alphabet but also about Jesus.

Relaxing
Challenging
Beautiful
Monument Valley is a gorgeous game with wonderful design. It's a fairly minimalist game yet a whole world is created for one to delve into. The combination of visual and sound design creates an atmosphere that is relaxing but the game is still challenging enough to keep a person entertained and invested.
My only complaint is that this game ended at all. I enjoyed it so much and wanted to be in Monument Valley forever.

Excellent Game
This game has some of the best miniatures I've ever seen. The board is beautiful and both clearly show the love the makers have for what they do. The rules are easy to pick up for most adults, even though scoring in this game is kind of strange. You can clearly do the best on the board for the entire game and still lose because of some special conditions other players can purchase in secret.

Contains spoilers, click to show
Now im not a DC movie lover have been slightly swayed with recents like WW and JL but Aquaman is in a league of its own in my opinion Marvel beware... Ok the plot is lacking a little and if you not into action from the get go prob avoid this movie but if you like a good film score and beautiful visuals (including Mamoa) then definitely give it a watch

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Wow, this book was amazing! The writing is beautiful and atmospheric, and do delightfully creepy.
This is based off of the 12 dancing princess story and then barrels it's way in an incredible but completely unexpected direction.
I loved Annaleigh and her sisters. There voices were authentic and tragic. The pervasive loneliness and isolation of the Thaumus sisters was portrayed so we'll!

Monochromatic vampire love story similar at times to Let the right one in, however this is a little more quirky and has some beautiful cinematography.
The cast isn't a long line of the well known and its filmed in Iran in limited locations, but this doesn't detract from its compelling story and amazing turns from the two main cast members.
Vampires need love too I guess and I would highly recommend this story be seen, its touching and surprisingly well told, highly recommended!

Outstanding Programing
Sir David Attenborough once again narrates a series full of astonishing creatures, and some if the most stunning shots I have ever seen. Like the original series, it is broken down into sections, each showing a habitat such as jungles, the deep sea ect. And how the animals within deal with the challenges of that habitat. It is another beautiful showcase of the founders of the natural world and is a MUST see for all nature documentary fans.

Top Boys
Cannot wait for the 2nd series of The Boys.
Superheroes who on paper are the model heroes, but behind closed doors are a bunch of needy over powered arseholes. Oh and Starlight is stunningly beautiful, oh and Karl Urban is amazing, oh and the Superman clone is more like Brightburn ( OMG I need to review that as well!!) and just everything! Just watch it. If you have had enough of goody two shoe heroes watch this
